1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangular section with base length $3x$ and area $6x^2 + 9x$. We want to find the height of the rectangle.
2. **Formula used:** The area $A$ of a rectangle is given by the formula:
$$A = \text{base} \times \text{height}$$
3. **Apply the formula:** Given the base $3x$ and area $6x^2 + 9x$, we set up the equation:
$$6x^2 + 9x = 3x \times \text{height}$$
4. **Solve for height:** Divide both sides by $3x$ (assuming $x \neq 0$):
$$\text{height} = \frac{6x^2 + 9x}{3x}$$
5. **Simplify the expression:** Factor numerator:
$$6x^2 + 9x = 3x(2x + 3)$$
Substitute back:
$$\text{height} = \frac{3x(2x + 3)}{3x}$$
Cancel $3x$:
$$\text{height} = 2x + 3$$
6. **Interpretation:** The height of the rectangle is $2x + 3$.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{2x + 3}$$
